This is just a preparation for the move of the main rmdir logic to a separate function to make the logic easier to follow. This change contains the flow changes so that the actual change to move the main logic to a separate function does no change the flow at all. Two changes here: 1. Previously on filename_parentat() error the function used to exit immediately, and now it will check the return code to see if ESTALE retry is appropriate. The filename_parentat() does its own retries on ESTALE, but this extra check should be completely fine. 2. The retry_estale() check is wrapped in unlikely(). Some other places already have that and overall it seems to make sense.
